Dream on. The wealthy and powerful have no way to stop the coming chaos. They will be in the same boat as everybody else. And they will not be popular.
Sure they do. They have the US military and most police departments.
Your totalitarian fantasy is only possible if you completely disregard the actual mechanisms of collapse. It will be very rapid. There will be no way for our "leaders" to react. Once a credit freeze occurs, supply chains begin breaking down immediately. So do telecommunications networks and ATMs. The timeline from the first onset of economic crisis to the onset of total collapse could be around 3 weeks or so! You need to read the damn Korowicz paper. Then get back to me about EXACTLY how the rich and powerful will stop what is actually coming.
